My team quickly moved into action and ensured it was curbed but even at that, I was afraid and worried that another source may drop the movie. Upon fishing further, I noticed these guys also pirate many other cinema movies, streaming, and even YouTube content. How can the creative industry grow when some elements stay in one corner to cause us pain and destroy our investment? Streaming is cutting down on spending because they can’t trust that they will make the numbers and get the required subscription because of piracy. For anyone uploading unlicensed content or even aiding and abetting by downloading illegally this is a call for you to stop. I thank my team, @filmoneng our distributor, AIG Idowu Owohunwa in Alagbon, CP Atayero, CSP Kayode Emmanuel, SP Idris Sarunmi, and their team members who traveled around the country to arrest the alleged culprits. If you are running a telegram or have a link to upload movies you have no rights over, your time is up, and the police will find you!”
